For example, suppose I have multiple DNS servers under a private network which handle name resolutions for domains only hosted under said private network. Suppose also I use the name extension .wifi for domains hosted on the Wi-Fi.
When DNS1 gets a request for webservice.wifi, it should say to itself "I don't know how to resolve .wifi names, but I know DNS2 does," and then consults DNS2.
In essence, I want to have a top level DNS which resolves extensions, and then each extension has a dedicated DNS for full resolution.
Is this:
A) Possible for a private network?
B) Reasonable for a private network (e.g. any major security flaws, etc)?

You should not invent own TLDs as there's no guarantee they won't be allocated in the future.

I'd be pretty confident something like '.localwifi' wouldn't be allocated, then.

Alternatively, couldn't I append to a domain I already own?

That should be possible. But without stating which name server software and the existing configuration you use it is hard to give a definitive answer.
The venerable bind will use a syntax similar to:
zone "example.wifi"
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders
IP.address.of.DNS2 ;
;

Would that not bind specifically 'example.wifi'? The goal is scalability such that if a new .wifi name is added to DNS2, it does not need to be added to DNS1 because all DNS1 says is ".wifi is handled by DNS2, go there."

I'm most likely handling everything on EdgeMax included DNS, by the way. I didn't specify that because I'm more so looking for the concepts I need to research, rather than copy-and-paste solutions.

That works for everything below the example.wifi leaf in DNS and expands also to.wifiif you are so inclined.
